Damages and Eligibility

If you were struck by a car while riding a bicycle, you may be eligible
to recover financial compensation for damages.

Potential damages include compensation for:

Medical bills

Lost wages

Pain and suffering

Future loss of income relating to your injury

Future medical expenses relating to your injury

Unfortunately, individuals who are involved in bicycle accidents with motor
vehicles often suffer disproportionately severe injuries due to their
lack of external protection. For this reason, we work hard to ensure our
clients receive just and fair compensation for their suffering. For our
clients who lack health insurance, we work with a network of area doctors,
therapists, and healthcare providers to ensure they receive the treatment
they need.

Bicycle accidents often result in brain injuries,
spinal cord injuries, broken bones, internal injuries, and even death. If you have lost a loved
one in an accident, we can help you file a
wrongful death lawsuit on your loved one's behalf.

Establishing Liability in Bicycle Accident Cases

The Northern California bicycle accident lawyers at the Law Offices of
Larry S. Buckley work with experts to establish liability in bicycle accident
cases. Successfully recovering damages on behalf of our clients is entirely
dependent on determining fault. By working with only top experts in the
fields of biomechanical engineering, physics, accident reconstruction,
accident investigation, psychology, and economics, we can both establish
liability and determine appropriate compensation. By taking these steps
and going to great effort to put our clients' cases up, we drastically
improve our chances of obtaining a fair and just settlement or verdict.

Victims' Rights

Bicyclists have rights. Unfortunately, many motorists believe that they
don't have to share the road or are woefully negligent of what is around
them and fail to show proper care for bicyclists.

Though there is a multitude of laws governing bicycling, it would be impossible
to discuss them in detail here, as there are many instances in which a
bicyclist has the right of way over a motorist. If a motorist strikes
and injures a bicyclist because he or she failed to yield to the right
of way or as a result of recklessness or negligence, then it's possible
to hold him or her accountable.

Common Causes of Bicycle Accidents

There are a multitude of circumstances that can lead to a bicycle accident,
including, but not limited to:

Failing to share the road with a bicyclist

Encroaching on a bicycle lane

Turning left in front of a bicycle

Failing to check for bicyclists when backing up

Through a scientific, objective approach to accident investigation, we
can determine the cause of a bicycle accident and establish liability.
Motorists have a legal duty to show due care for pedestrians and bicyclists; like
truck accident and
motorcycle accident cases, there exists the potential for disproportionate damage in the event of
an accident. The bicycle accident attorneys at our firm can file personal
injury suit on your behalf if they've failed by this duty.
